What the hell is the difference?;)

Will it really matter which ones I use in my phono pre? Thought I should ask before I pull the trigger on a set.

Thanks Fellas.

    I've always had an affinity for the smooth plate tele's. YMMV
    JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut)

    Difference would be the lower amount of money left in your wallet if you went with ribbed plates;).

    I haven't heard the ribbed plates but have experience with the smooth plate. I like the sound but I can't believe how much they're going for. IMO the Ei copy of the smooth plate is very nice and a good substitute if you don't want to spend a lot of money.
